Ingels, Edna Carter

OBITUARY
     Mrs. Edna Carter Ingels, wife of Truman Ingels, died in White Cross hospital, Columbus, O., Monday evening, March 22, 1926, in her 26th year of life.
     She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Carter of near Patriot, Ohio. Beside those mentioned she leaves three sisters, Nellie and Jessie at home, and Mrs. Verdie Brown of Marysville, Ohio; Three brothers, Earl of Gallipolis, Virgil of Northup, and Cecil at home. Many other kindred and friends who share in a great loss.
     The writer of this sketch has known Edna all her life, and remembers her as a precious and lovable child. As she increased in years she did not lose the charm of her childhood but grew in favor with all who knew her. Her mind was extraordinary bright and her ambition knew no bounds. She spent some years in public school work with excellent success. She was a student at Rio Grande College and Ohio University specializing in music and had almost enought credits for graduation in that course. In recent months she had been employed by the Z. L. White Company of Columbus.
     Seven or eight years ago she publicly declared her faith in God and purpose to live a Christian life she united with the Patriot M. E. Church remaining faithful to death.
     Edna was a jewel, the luster of which shed a hallowed and gracious influence upon all with whom she came in touch and especially those who knew her best. Her span of years were comparatively few but her life was full and complete.
     It is not four score years, but character and conduct which make a complete life. They live longest who think most, feel noblest and act best and by this we measure her life and call it complete. She closed her eyes upon a world of tribulation to open upon a world where sorrow and disappointment can never be for the Lord hath said "There shall be no pain, no tears, no death." In this premise we committ her body to the earth. In this promise we expect to join her spirit in that eternal home, the soul.

DeWolfe, Methodist pastor on the Eureka circuit, will have charge. Interment will be made in Mound Hill cemetery by George J. Wetherholt & Sons.
     The body was brought here yesterday afternoon from Chillicothe where she had died early that morning. She had been seriously ill for 18 months and virtually helpless the last six months. On that account she and Mr. Ingels had been living since last fall at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cargo.
     Truman Ingels, the only surviving son, is expected to arrive late today. He is coming from Shawano, Wisconsin, where he is the manager of a 5 and 10 cent store.
     Elizabeth Riggs was born Aug. 16, 1864, and was in her 78th year. She and Mr. Ingels were married Aug.6, 1890, at the Riggs homestead. She was a lifelong member of Clay Chapel Methodist church.
     Except for the few months in Chillicothe and a few years in Gallipolis when their two children were attending school here, Mrs. Ingels was a resident of Clay tp. She was esteemed as a high type of Christian womanhood, as a capable and devoted wife and mother and home-maker, and a loyal supporter of causes she deemed worthy.

Ingels, Everett Clair

IN MEMORY
     Everett Clair Ingels, eldest son of Bert and Lizzie Ingels, was born June 6, 1891. He became a member of the M. E. Church at Clay Chapel at eleven years of age under the ministry of Rev. H. F. Prior. He entered Gallipolis high school at the age of thirteen, completing his school work and graduating in 1910.
     During his high school years he spent much time in preliiminary pharmacy work. He spent one year in the College of Pharmancy at Indianapolis, Ind., and one year at Ada College of Pharmacy, where he graduated in 1912 on his 21st birthday. He passed the state examination for a registered pharmacist when he was barely of legal age and accepted a position at once at Carey, Ohio. He later went to Cleveland where he was manager and registered pharmacist in a large drug store, and which place he was occupying when illness took him from his work on July 10.
     Mr. Ingels united in marriage with Miss Hester Stahl of Carey on Jan. 25, 1915, and leaves a noble young wife to mourn for him. Besides his wife, his parents, brother Truman, sisters Frances and Mildred, he leaves a host of relatives and friends to whom he was very near and dear.
     He was a noble Christian young man, to whom life was dear, yet when he knew a dreaded disease held him, he was reconciled to leave his dear ones here to go to his Heavenly home. He took great comfort in having those about him read the blessed promises in the Bible to him, and to offer up prayer for courage and comfort in the hour of need.
     Though the Reaper has taken this flower in the springtime of life, and his dear ones are borne down with grief, yet they are blessed in the assurance that he was prepared for his Heavenly home which awaited him. He was loved and respected by all who knew him; was a devoted husband, son and brother, a loyal friend, and his life a pure, noble Christian one. His spirit went to receive its reward of such a life on Sept. 29, 1915, at the home of his father-in-law at Carey, Ohio.

He was an older brother of Jasper Clayton Ingels, banker, who died in December, 1934, and was a lineal descendant of Mary Draper Ingels, as glamourous a pioneer figure as Dan'l Boone or Ann Bailey.
     On Sept. 4, 1878, Mr. Ingels and Ruie Beardsley were united in marriage by Rev. John W. McCormick. They made their home in what has been called the Wigner or Alexander community of Green tp. Mrs. Ingels died some years ago. They are survived by one daughter, Miss Lola, who has presided over the home since her mother's death. A son, Fred, died when in his teens.
     Also surviving are these brothers and sisters: Jesse Franklin Ingels, Jacksonville, Florida; Bert H., Raccoon Island; Herbert Ingels, Grand Junction, Colorado; Mrs. Victor J. Niday and Mrs. Lida Blazer, both of Gallipolis.

Irion, Amanda Florence

In Memory
     Amanda Florence Irion, daughter of John and Caroline Perkins was born October 26, 1859, departed this life August 10, 1927, aged 67 years, 9 months and 14 days.
     She was united in marriage to Charles W. Irion on September 19, 1883.  To this union five children were born, Roy and Frank of Eureka, O., Mrs. Virgil Thevenin of Amelia, Iowa; Mrs. Charles Harrington of Green Township; Wayne of Ambridge, Pa.; who with her husband survive her, also fourteen grandchildren and one brother, besides a host of friends and relatives.
     She united with the church at Ohio Chapel under the pastoral work of J.R. Fields.  While her health never permitted her to attend church as she liked, she cheerfully remained at home that her family might go.  Her life has been one of sacrifice and devotion.  She loved her friends and loved to meet with them and these meetings she held as sacred treasures in her memory.  She will be sadly missed in the home and place where she lived, and well may we say:

A precious one from us is gone,    A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home    Which never can be filled.

Irion, Billie Bradie

IN MEMORY
     Just as the sun was slowly setting in the west on the evening of Jan. 15, the beautiful young life of the infant son of Frank and Sadie Irion passed out to the Great Beyond.
     This darling babe came to life on July 10 and was christened Billie Bradie. This home was brightened as the little bud grew into a smiling little flower. Everyone loved the sweet face and winning smile; but for only awhile until sickness overtook the little form and all that loving hands could do was done; but God wanted to transplant this young flower in the Garden of Paradise at the age of 6 months and five days. He will be sadly missed by his parents, grandfather; sisters, Frances and Grace and brother Kenneth.

Little darling we will miss you, We will miss you most of all. But in Heaven we hope to meet you When the Saviour in Heaven shall call.

Card of Thanks
     We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the kindness shown us during the illness and death of our darling baby and brother; also to Rev. Miller for his consoling words, the singers, to those who gave flowers and to Undertaker Stevers for his efficient service.
                    Mr. & Mrs. Frank Irion and Family.

[Note: Death Certificate shows this child was born July 10, 1930 and died on Jan. 15, 1931 of Bronchopneumonia.  Father Frank L. Irions and mother Sadie Sheets...Burial in Mound Hill Cemetery.]

Mrs. Minnie Irion Dies In Westerville (Thivener Cor.)
     Mrs. Minnie Irion, a former resident of this community, died of a heart attack at her home at Westerville near Columbus. She lived long after the death of her mother, Mrs. Martindale. Mrs. Irion formerly lived near the Clay Townhouse and she still owned the home nearest the Townhouse in which relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Cofer live. She was a woman of lovely traits of character, going and walking for miles to help the sick and needy. Her last thoughts were about coming back here to spend her declining years.

On account of high water here she was buried in Westerville. Her husband is buried at Clay chapel cemetery.

Irwin, Alice

     In memory of Alice Irwin who departed this earthly life March 27, 1894, of consumption, at the age of 14 years, 6 months, and 27 days.
     It was a sad wave of sorrow that swept over the over the community when the tidings came that the spirit of Alice had gone to the God who gave it. Alice was loved by all who knew her. All that earthly hands could do for her was done but of no avail, for the Lord saw fit to take her to her home beyond the skies. She leaves a father, five brothers and a host of weeping friends to mourn their loss, but their loss is her eternal gain. She has gone to her mother, who preceded her to that better land, less than a year ago. Weep not, father and brothers, for Alice, but trust in the Savior and you will meet her on that bright and happy shore where parting is no more. She can not come to you but you can go to her. Her remains were laid to rest in Mt. Carmel Cemetery March 29, 1894. Rev. Rice conducted the funeral services.

   Dear Alice, thou hast left us,
    Here thy loss we deeply feel;
    But ‘tis God that hath bereft us,
    He will all our sorrows heal.

    Allie sleeps, but not forever,
    There will be a glorious dawn;
    We shall meet to part no never,
    On the resurrection morn.

Irwin, Dan

Dan Irwin, 91 Passes Away 8 [PM] Last Night
Native And Nearly Lifelong Resident Of County
Funeral At 2 Wednesday
     The venerable Daniel Irwin, who was born and spent nearly all his life in Springfield tp., died at 8:15 last night at his home in Jackson. He was in his 92nd year.
     For some time his physical and mental condition had not been good. He was tenderly cared for by Mrs. Irwin and their daughter, Mrs. Thomas Buie, a nurse. Only a year or two ago the Irwins moved from Bidwell to Jackson, and recently in the Bidwell correspondence in this paper it was made known that they were planning to return to Bidwell and probably occupy the former home of E. T. Morrison.

Of Pioneer Stock
     Mr. Irwin was the scion of two pioneer families. His parents were John, Mary A. Clark Erwin [sic]. John was born in Gallipolis in 1819. John's parents, David and Mary Fletcher Irwin, came here from Marietta in 1809 (the year Lincoln was born). In 1827 they moved out on Campaign and he bought section five in Springfield tp., which was subsequently divided among his surviving children.
     Daniel was the next oldest of 11 children, and he was born Sept. 10, 1847. On Oct. 1, 1869, he married Margaret Humphrey of Eno, the nuptial knot having been tied by Squire Robinson. She and the following children, in addition to Mrs. Buie, survive: Mrs. Claude Kincade, Jackson; Mrs. J. W. Ballard and Mrs. Mary Coolville, both of Columbus; Bert Irwin, Le Mesa Calif.; Spencer Irwin, Los Angeles, and Emmett Irwin, Hubbard, Ohio. Mrs. Jerry Grover of Morgan, who died a few years ago, was another daughter.
There are two surviving sisters; Miss Irene Irwin of the Children Home's staff and Mrs. Ella Rees of Columbus.
     Mr. Irwin was a member of the Campaign Baptist church and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
     Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. J. L. Stephenson and Rev. R. R. Denney at the Bidwell M. E. church at 2 o'clock Wednesday. Burial in Clark Chapel cemetery by J. L. Coleman.
The Irwin home at Jackson is on the Route 35 entrance to the city and just a short distance this side of the railway tracks crossing the route.

[Note: Date of death on death certificate is October 24, 1938.]

Death of Capt. David Irwin
     It is with great regret that we announce the death of Capt. David Irwin, of Springfield township, which occurred at his home Thursday, May 3d, 1894. Capt.

He also leaves a sister a respected maiden lady, Miss Kate Irwin.

       Mr. E. S. Irwin, of Charleston, W. Va., died at the above city Saturday of last week.  Mr. Irwin was born in this county and was well and favorably known here.  He was a brother of James, John, and Capt. Dave Irwin, of this city and county, and a brother-in-law to Capt. John H. Nevius.  The Charleston Gazette says:
     "On Friday he seemed to rally some, and it was the hope of his physicians to eventually bring him around all right, but during the latter part of the night he seemed to to be somewhat restless, and at 7:45 o'clocok yesterday morning he arose in his bed and asked for a glass of water, but before it could be given to him, he fell back and died instantly from heart failure.  In the death of Mr. Irwin Charleston loses a prominent and honorable business man who never did anyone a wrong.  His hand was always open and no one who asked a favor or aid ever went away empty handed.  He had the respect and esteem of everyone, and now that he is gone many a tear of sorrow will be shed for Uncle Ed who was everybody's friend. 
     Edward S. Irwin was a son of David and Mary F. Irwin, and was born in Gallia county, Ohio, June 6, 1827, and was married to Elizabeth A. Nevius in Cincinnati, Ohio, April 2, 1874.  In 1871 he became a resident of this city and served six years as a member of the City Council.  At the time of his death he was in the livery and sale stable business.  A wife and three children survive him to mourn their loss.  The funeral services will took place Sunday forenoon.  If death be sleep, the awakening of E.S. Irwin will be a sweet one in the morning, and if those for whom he did a kind act in life were to lay a rose on his bier his bed would be a wilderness of flowers."
